Susan McDonald Pens a Novel About Adela Chavez's Experience of Life in the Fascinating City of Shanghai

Let’s Move to China, Ma Cherie Reflects the Modernization of China Through Love and Adventure

 

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/15/2017 -- Have you ever wanted to visit China?

Have you ever wanted to live in an exotic land?

What if your husband came home one night and said, "Honey, let's move to China!" Would you do it?

Adela Chavez answered yes to that last question and spent five years in Asia with her infant daughter and business-executive husband. Let's Move to China, Ma Cherie! is the true story of this amazing experience. It is a lively, adventurous tale of Adela's life, love, and travels during the early years of China's modernization – and it is true. It all really happened!

In her own words, Adela Chavez tells a lively story of her arrival and adjustment to life in this chaotic yet fascinating city. She joins a congenial community of ex-pat women from around the world and learns the tips and tricks needed to survive in this teeming metropolis, and she also travels to explore exotic locations in China and beyond. But nothing can prepare her for the changes that living five years in Asia brings to her family, especially to the love of her life, her oh-so-charming French husband.

As a former journalist, author Susan McDonald became fascinated by her niece Adela's many stories of life as an expatriate living in Shanghai. She knew she was hearing something special and unique. In 2003 China was rushing to catch up with the world's modern countries, and Adela was struggling to make a good life for herself and her family in a place that seemed totally alien to her. Those two stories were intertwined by the author to create the new book, Let's Move to China, Ma Cherie!

Let's Move to China, Ma Cherie! is both a love story and a travel-adventure story. But it has a deeper message as well. Adela's story is also a cautionary tale, one that describes what can happen to a woman if she gives up too much of herself to another, especially when she is so very far from home.

Let's Move to China, Ma Cherie! is available on Amazon.com. Purchase the eBook through Amazon, Apple iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and AuthorSusanMcDonald.com.
